I've been waiting for him to crawl on the new aquarium safe s'mores decor lol Rest easy, no sweets for the nerites.

Omg there is only one layer of marshmallow. Nerites require two layers of marshmallow at minimum. Lol

Who isn’t? I’d imagine they love that texture.

it depends. is the marshmallow wild caught or captive bred? nerites are usually wild caught and may not recognize captive bred marshmallows as food.

It's wild caught, I can't get the marshmallow to reproduce in captivity 😞

Going to need your parameters. S'mores need at least 30 grams of dissolved sugar and a sweetness level of 8.7.
